hi guys, I want to write a master-slave application in Erlang. I am thinking at the following things I need from the architecture:
the slaves shouldn't die when the master dies, but rather try to reconnect to it while the master is down
the master should automatically start the remote nodes if they don't connect automatically or they are down (probably the supervisor behaviour in otp)
Is there a OTP oriented behaviour to do this ? I know I can start remote nodes with slave:start_link() and I can monitor nodes with erlang:monitor(), but I don't know how this can be incorporated in a gen_server behaviour.
